SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 596,011, dated December 21, 1897.

Application filed July 29, 1897.

To all whom it may concern.-

' Be it known that I, HENRY EARL BEIGHLEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Castle, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a bottle with an enlarged neck, the enlargement having twoagain. I attain this object by the device illusr of Fig. 2.

trated in the accompanying drawings, in whichm Figure 1 is a vertical section of the neck of the bottle at the line A B 'of Fig. 2, with all the parts in position and the bottle ready for filling. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan through C D of Fig. 1. 3 is a vertical section at E Fig. 4 is a top View of the guard plate or disk 4. Fig. 5 is a top view of auxiliary stopper or stopper-disk 2.

Similar figures referto similar parts throu ghout the several views.

The bottle is originally blown to the dotted lines in Fig. 1. The stopper-disk 2 and guard-disk 4 are then fastened together with the wire 3 and the two lowered into the neck of the bottle,with guard-plate 4 resting on its shoulder or seat 18 and stopper-disk 2 suspended in apartment 15. The upper part of the neck is then reduced to its proper size and the bottle is ready for filling, as shown in Fig. 1.

The upper enlarged portion of the neck is made the proper size to form chamber or pocket 15 for guard-plate'4 to rest in and wide enough at the shoulders 18 to admit stopperdisk 2 to pass through into the enlarged portion of neck 14. The auxiliary stopper 2has an upward projection 6, which prevents the main body of the same from coming in contact with guard-plate 4 and giving additional weight to disk 2. Guard-plate 4 has an annular rim or ridge 12 running into the guideposts 8 on the upper side of said guard-plate 4. The guide-posts 8 of disk 4,bearing against Serial No. 646,308. (No model.)

the upper wall of apartment 15 at points 16, serve to hold disk 4 firmly in position upon shoulders 18 on guide 7. The guides 7 extend from the upper part of corresponding guide-posts 8 of disk 4 down to the pocket 9 of stopper-disk 2 and prevent the latter from attaining any side motion. On each side of guides 7 are the vertical channels 5, which connect the narrow portion of the neck 10 with chamber 9 and through it with the body of the bottle 13. The wire 3 is bent inward and upward at its ends 11 and hooked under stopper-disk 2 and passes through channels 5 and over and rests upon annular rim 12 of guard-disk 4.

The stopper-disk 2 being suspended by the wire 3, as shown in Fig. 1, the liquid passes down through channel 5 and pocket 9 into the body of the bottle 13. When the bottle is filled, the auxiliary stopper 2 is released by drawing the wire 3 out through the mouth 10 with a hook or other suitable instrument, whereupon it falls down into pocket 9 upon the seat or shoulder 17. The bottle may then be corked or scaled up at its mouth in the ordinary way. When the bottle is inverted to remove the contents, the auxiliary stopper 2 falls against guard-plate 4 and the contents pass out through channels 5. WVhen the bot- 8o tle is again righted, the auxiliary stopper, 2 falls back upon its seat 17, closing the passage and preventing the bottle from being refilled. Guard-plate 4, having a solid base, prevents the insertion of any instrument to lift auxiliary stopper 2 from its seat. The bottle and all its parts may be made of glass, which insures its being practicable and durable. Auxiliary stopper 2 and guard-disk 4 may be made of pressed glass varying with 0 the size of the bottles in which they are to be used, the bottles being made of any size required.

The usefulness of my invention will be apparent to compounders and bottlers of liq- 5 uors,medicines,and other liquid preparations.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A bottle of the kind described having a portion of the neck enlarged, the enlargement '100 having two apartments, the one larger and above the other, and having vertical channels connecting the upper apartment with the chamber beneath, the upper apartment having at its base a shoulder or seat, to receive a guard plate or disk having a solid base and an annular rim or ridge running into guideposts, permitting the bottle contents to flow down through said vertical channels, the lower apartment having at its base a shoulder or seat, and a pocket or chamber, to receive an auxiliary stopper or stopper-disk with an upward projection, said disk adapted to be suspended by a Wire passing through said channels and over and resting upon said guard plate or disk, and to be released and permitted to descend to its seat and chamber, 15 by withdrawing said wire, all substantially as and for the purpose above set forth and described.
